In the seventh he knocked Blomfield down three times with elbow jolts, but when he rushed in again Blomfield tripped him. and entwined him in his celebrated tentacle hold. Rumberg yielded a painful submission fall. He crawled out on the mat for the last round, but as he was in no shape to continue. the referee awarded the decision to Blomfield.
